[QUOTE="Mugen, post: 2661987, member: 569829"] You guys made good points I guess, but I still don't see how it's not limiting the amp. If it can do 1000w at 4ohms, it should easily be able to do MUCH more at 1ohm, right (at least, all other amps lead me to believe that)? So, why make it only do 1000w @ 1ohm? How can it pushing more power hurt? It can't. You guys argued that it does the same no matter what impedance, which is good and all, but why not get maximum performance? What if you're running 1000w @ 4ohms then get another speaker to get a final 2ohm load. Most other amps would give you more power, but on one of these, you'd be stuck with the same power cut in half because it does the same instead of more at lower impedances. I don't see how you guys don't get what I'm saying. What you would rather purchase: Amp 1: 1000w @ 4ohm 2000w @ 2ohm 3000w @ 1ohm or Amp 2: 1000w @ 4ohm 1000w @ 2ohm 1000w @ 1ohm See what I'm saying? A typical amp would give you more power with a lower impedance, but Amp 2 gives you the same "weakest-link" power no matter what. How does Amp 2 consider it a feature to cut off so much power? They both do the same exact amount at 4ohm, but the first amp does much more at 1ohm, what would you rather purchase...? [/QUOTE]
